Storyline
Marshal Matt Dillon is in charge of Dodge City, a town in the wild west where people often have no respect for the law. He deals on a daily basis with the problems associated with frontier life: cattle rustling, gunfights, brawls, standover tactics, and land fraud. Such situations call for sound judgement and brave actions: of which Marshal Dillon has plenty. Written by &view=simple&sort=alpha&ref_=tt_stry_pl">Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>
